IO Interactive has finally detailed the hardware requirements needed to run their upcoming spy thriller, *007 First Light*, on PC. After pushing the game’s launch back from March to its current release date of May 27, the studio has given PC players a clear picture of what they’ll need under the hood to ensure a smooth operation.
The specifications are quite demanding, particularly concerning memory; the recommended tier specifically calls for a hefty 32 GB of RAM to maintain optimal performance. For those aiming for the entry-level experience—a minimum of 1080p at 30 FPS—players will need a CPU equivalent to an Intel Core i5 9500K or AMD Ryzen 5 3500, supported by 16 GB of RAM and an Nvidia GTX 1660 or AMD RX 5700 GPU.
Jumping up to the recommended settings for 1080p/60 FPS significantly escalates the hardware requirement. This tier asks for modern components like the Intel Core i5 13500 or AMD Ryzen 5 7600, paired with an Nvidia RTX 3060 TI or AMD RX 6700 XT, alongside that large 32 GB RAM requirement. In both scenarios, players will need at least 80 GB of storage space. It’s worth noting that IO Interactive has only shared targets for 1080p thus far, leaving the requirements for 1440p, 4K, or high frame rate gaming still under wraps. *007 First Light* launches simultaneously across PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch 2 on May 27.
